Amy Tuck is a former lieutenant governor of Mississippi. She is only the second woman elected to statewide office in Mississippi and the first to have been re-elected.

Tuck, a native of tiny Maben in Oktibbeha County in north central Mississippi, received a bachelor's degree in political science and a master's degree in public administration from Mississippi State University and a juris doctor degree from Mississippi College School of Law.

In 1990, she defeated five others to be elected to the Mississippi Senate. In 1995, Tuck ran for Secretary of State and was narrowly defeated in the Democratic primary by Eric Clark, the eventual winner. Undeterred by the political setback, she ran for lieutenant governor in 1999 and won.

In 2003, Tuck was re-elected with 61 percent of the vote, this time as a Republican. Due to term limits, Tuck was ineligible to seek a third term as lieutenant governor in the 2007.

She currently works as a special assistant to the president of Mississippi State University.
